How can anyone connect environmental damage from on shore development to marine construction. Are bridges harmful? Jettys? Where is the environmental damage done by fossil fuel power plants taken into the equation?

When questions like this arise one should look to other areas and countries to put things into perspective. If it is OK for Denmark It should be good for the US.

The main opposition I see are the rich property owners who don't want to see the turbines so they whip up a anti windmill campaign while at the same time bitching about burning fossil fuels, global warming and imported oil. That sir, is a three way clusterfuck.

As you can see from my link it is better to put them in shallow water where ships do not go. Transmission of the power is more efficient, the closer they are to shore.
